Here are a few photos from today's visit into the park. Viewing the downloads is recommended.
The Elwha River had a couple of dams along its path. Beginning in 2011 the restoration of this river and removal of the dams began. The dams are now gone and the salmon are free to follow their path from the mountain stream to the ocean and back again. The eco system is still in recovery, but progressing nicely.
Hurricane Ridge is a mountain ridge along the Olympic Mountain chain about 17 miles south of Port Angeles, WA. You can see from the photo that it looks very hazy when looking out over the mountain range from here. This is not the normal look but the effects of all the smoke from the fires in British Columbia. The haze actually diminished somewhat from my first visit here two days ago. Then you could not see the snow capped peaks of Mount Olympus.

These are all stunning; I especially like the moss covered trees and ferns; great textures. Your photos do the scenes justice. First rate job. Matt
These are excellent photos. I especially like the one of the knarled tree.
Very lovely area and equally nice photographs.
